> Personally, I believe that one should gradually evolve towards a lifestyle that is suited to one's own needs.
Learning to live your own life really is a lot of work. Everyone's body is different and has its own set of quirks. I wonder when in the future medicine will be tailored to each individual. I would not be surprised if a diet/lifestyle that is healthy for one person is terrible for another. This is obviously the case for some people with well known disorders, but it might be true across the entire population.
For example, if I follow a diet where most of my calories come from carbohydrates, I tend to get very hungry in between meals. And even worse, if I miss a meal I feel very faint. However, if I get most of my calories from fat and protein, I do not get hungry between meals and if I miss a meal I don't feel like I'm going to die.
